In this life there are good times and bad, right and wrong, periods of elation and periods of depression. Yet sometimes we are fortunate to live a 'shade of grey', somewhere in between.

And Now My Sister Has A Medical Problem

I really cannot fathom what has hit our family in recent days with all this bad news - it always seems to come in a deluge of travesties doesn't it?

It is now my sister, Maggie May, who has a Health Issue.

First, I thank you for your prayers and good wishes for my wife, Maria.It seems as though the drugs are containing the cancer at the moment and we hope and pray they may continue to do so for as long as possible.

I know most of you will know Maggie's husband, Harry, has been suffering from Prostate Cancer for seven years.

And now, recently Maggie found a lump in her groin and had this investigated.It seems that there is a strong possibility this is a form of cancer as well.

On Monday Maggie is undergoing surgery and again I would ask all my friends to rally round and give her your support and prayers.

Maggie has posted this incident in much more detail and I am linking this post to her blog site, Nuts In May. To see it please press HERE.

Eddie, Maggie May went into great detail on her blog about her upcoming ordeal. It is so amazing that you have been slammed with so much adversity in this fashion. I suppose the Lord knows that your family strength and love will help you bond together even more to survive all that is on your plate and endure. Along with so many who have grown to be part of your extended blogging family, I send my prayers and love.

Oh Eddie..... this is looking like a hospital Blog for decrepit old fogeys!You are sweet to do this and I am really grateful and am getting over the shock now!I will be posting something different soon. I have put on my armour, ready for the big fight! LOL!

You guys! You ahve been through it, haven't you? I pray good news will come for your family! I have been reading Maggie's blog for so long I can't recall when I started... It made me so sad to know so many of you have been touched by cancer.

I was on Maggie's site tonight, Eddie, and read before I came here. How in the world did I NOT know she was your sister? Yes, yes, yes she is in my prayers. Such a very dear person. I told her a friend of mine had lymphoma and beat it. Healthy now for several years. Praying for such happy news for her.

Can You Cook, Eddie?

Loved driving the 4x4 vehicles

Eddie, Ex-Ambulance Man

A number of newer followers have asked to see me in my uniform. Oh go on then! I must stress I do not wear it now - I am no longer in the service, regrettably

Dear God: I pray for a cure for cancer. Amen

For Maggie and Jenny plus countless millions throughout the world. Please keep the flame burning.
Alas too late for my dear wife Maria and brother-in-law Harry, and Jim but I know they ARE now cured in Heaven

About Me

Welcome to my Blog. I'm Eddie, a retired, eccentric ex-ambulance man, who loves making people laugh and happy. I have some great bloggy pals. I drive a bus for our local Dial-a-Ride service and really enjoy looking after passengers and brightening their day. I am a widower, and finding my feet after losing my dear wife of 40 years. Maria suffered breast cancer for 16 years and, sadly, I lost her in April 2013. I have a beautiful married daughter (32) and a wonderful son (22), soon to be married; he has a delightful baby son (11 months). Peter is a real cutie-Pie; he has big blue eyes and can melt any lady's heart - just like his Grandpa. Although retired I feel nothing like my age. Apart from a great new hip, all my original equipment is working very well, although I do have the odd creak now and then. I am writing up my ambulance and career experiences and offer a little poetry plus creative writing here and there, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad. I have donated 102 units of blood and encourage new donors in this life saving venture. I have a very keen sense of humour . . . and ladies, I'm quite a catch and will be snapped up quickly, so no delays, email me, pronto!

Andromeda Galaxy

How could this just evolve? There are 100 billion stars in it AND there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the universe! Surely someone made it! Sir Isaac Newton made a clever working model of the Solar System and a friend asked, "Who made that?" Isaac replied, "Oh! Nobody!" His friend said, "Oh come on somebody must have made it!", Isaac said, "I don't get it. You say someone must have made a little toy like that but when I ask 'who made the universe?' invariably the reply is 'nobody!'"
